The San Juan Islands Cabin

January 9, 2024 Guest User

Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscape of San Juan Islands, Washington, the San Juan Islands Cabin is an inviting two storey System 02 | 3 Module structure. With an expansive 1270 square feet, it encompasses 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, and a deck featuring an impressive 2/3 glazing wall. Originally purchased in October 2020 as a primary residence, the cabin was conceived as a sustainable and modern sanctuary for its initial owners.

Our largest System 02 cabin build to date!

October 24, 2023 Guest User

We're excited to share our latest - and largest - build in the field! Assembly and interior finishes were recently completed on this impressive 5 Module + Deck System 02 cabin in Ontario's cottage country. The layout (Floor plan H) offers 1366 square feet of interior space over two floors, and a 174 square foot deck. This configuration features a full glazing wall and lift slide door. 

This cabin, designed for personal family use, comfortably sleeps 6-8 on the upper floor over three bedrooms and includes two bathrooms and a double-height living room area. The open plan living room, dining room, and kitchen were planned around entertaining.

The System 02 Prefab Two-Storey Cabin, the original Backcountry Hut concept, was inspired by traditional alpine cabins. Our most adaptable cabin kit, System 02 features a variety of flexible floor plans designed to suit a variety of uses and space needs.
